Hi!

I started eating like this because I had acne problems but noticed alot of things in my health got better and continued to do...

are u still taking them?
I stopped taking them because I feel great almost all the time without them.
I felt like complete shit taking them so not worth it imo.
Just a experiment with the acne since many experts in paleo says it can do good.
Still...

It might not be butter that you're reacting to, but then it might be. ??
You'll know for sure if you turn that butter into ghee. ??Heat it up slowly until it melts, then skim off anything that floats to them top. ??Setup a paper coffee...

HI Everyone, I continue to struggle with signifiant low energy and headaches after 8 months of eating Paleo.
A quick summary: 1) Started VLC, thinking this would be the best - For roughly 4-5 months I ate between 30 and 65 grams of carbs per...

Low carb meals usually are meals having pretty minimum sweets content material. The reduced carb eating habits answer is among the most most common eating habits answer and is also fundamentally staying considered in lots of parts of the earth....

I used to eat self prepared sweets with alkali processed low fat cocoa and it frequently gave me headaches, later (long time before I became strict paleo) I started to use alkali processed but higher fat cocoa and cocoa butter together and it...

moors, you make a really interesting point. Is 100% cacao baking chocolate made by combining the cacao solids with additional amounts of cacao butter? Since the nibs already contain the butter, how is the actual chocolate making process changing...

Some say coffee is not paleo, but (at least I think) can be acceptable in moderation.
Anyway, I just invested in a Keurig K75 model. The first cup after rinsing the reservoir and water filter was great. That was yesterday evening. This...

I recently just moved from Indonesia to Italy. I've been here for about a month now and I've recently started feeling absolutely terrible. For the first time my period was late and I've been having headaches for three days non stop (again,...

I find the Mediterranean diet quite inflammatory. Lots of wheat products first and foremost, then wine, lots of cured meat with large amounts of black pepper, small amounts of fresh meat and fish, and very little root crops. Little of other...

I am 5 days into eating Paleo. I have been sticking to it about 90%. I have been eating lots of chicken, eggs, salad with lots of veggies, fruit, nuts, beef, even bacon! This is a major switch for me as I used to be a cereal, sandwich, pizza...

Thank you @Allison 14 I will have to also listen to that podcast. I just got a magnesium supplement at Whole Foods. Do you know how much to take? P.S. Will I lose weight on this way of eating even if I'm not trying to? I am really sick of...

I have been eating the PALEO way for about 3 weeks now and for the last 4 days I have had a very nasty headache. Now I am prone to them but I haven't done anything that would normally bring one on. I am wondering if cutting out dairy, sugar and...

IF you are go below 50 gms of carbs a day, you will start excreting water more rapidly as you enter ketosis. That can result in headaches if you get dehydrated. Don't worry! This is normal, healthy and has a simple fix.
SALT. Either drink salty...

The question pretty much speaks for itself, i was doing push ups & bam!! i got an instant severe pain in the base of my skull shooting up the back of my head, it was so bad it made me feel sick, it eased off & radiated to my temples. I...

Check your neck angle. I know there are certain pressure points, particularly in our shoulders/neck, that can trigger numbness, pain, and dizziness. Maybe start with a full plank (just the "up" position) and ensure your shoulders are stabilized...

Can anyone explain my strange vit D reaction?
To begin, let me say I have recently (this summer) taken decent daily doses of D-3 (4-6000 IU) without suffering any side effects at all. On top of that I was getting plenty of daily sun exposure (no...

I have the beginnings of my first headache since going Paleo. (I used to frequently get atrocious hormonal migraines each month before starting my period; this current headache is no where near as bad, but the pressure/pounding is still...

A glass of water and a nap in a dark room with the ceiling fan on, if possible. I love any excuse for a nap! If that isn't feasible, I will try to massage it away. The majority of headaches I get are usually tension related, so I drop my chin to...

Wednesday evening I got a headache, I had eaten some store-bought sushi and I am guessing that something in there (probably gluten) triggered it. By 1 AM I was in so much pain I went to the ER, I have no history of headaches but a significant...

I've had two spinal taps, both 5 years ago, and completely understand the pain you're in. I literally felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to my head and vividly remember having to crawl across the floor to get to the loo as I couldn't walk...

Firstly, I understand you are not doctors. I plan on scheduling an appointment as soon as I can, but I was just wondering if anyone in the Paleo community had any ideas. Any input is much appreciated.
I've had several UTIs in the past year and...

I just thought I would share a positive copper T IUD story. After my first child I had one in for almost 10 years, with little to no side effects. I had it taken out, had my second child and had a new one put back in. My second child is 9 now...

Hi guys, a little back story before my main question:
I started taking on a loose paleo lifestyle ~ february as i have acid reflux issues. At that time, i had a lot of bloating and belching issues, which were eradicated after adopting a loose...
(more)

Have you considered additional supplements?
I would recommend magnesium to help things "move along". Also, while overdoing veggies will cause similar symptoms to what you are having, I wouldn't recommend just "meat and fats" - instead try to get...

Seriously, this is hell. My mother bathes in perfume, there are baskets with purple perfumed leafy decoration stuff in the living room and dining room , the car has air wick, sprays in the little room,....
And the problem is, this has been so all...

I'm right there with you. It isn't in your head. I suspect what you are reacting to in the bathroom is a double whammy of mold/mildew and the air fresheners, both make me ill. It might help to explain to your mom that windows or at the very...

Hey guys my health has improved since paleo, I've also lost weight and been more energetic BUT:
1) I now get headaches most times when I eat at restaurants.
2) I am now more lactose intolerant than ever.
3) I carry my own coconut flour muffins...

What it really ruined for me was the relaxed attitude I had towards food. I used to eat what I wanted, when I wanted it - and I ate a basically healthy diet of mostly unprocessed/home-cooked foods because my that's how my parents raised me. I...

I am on my 4th day of the Paleo Diet. I haven't cheated once and this is a big deal for me...especially considering how much I love bread and cheese. Since I am allergic to wheat and corn, though, and have always ignored it (and feel shittier and...

For the past 4-5 Days I have been getting headaches almost immediately after eating.
I eat VLC, and my first assumption was that it was caused by carbs, However it is consistently occuring no matter the carb load of the meal.
I just recently...

You should get a glucose meter and check your blood sugar before and after the meal. It is possible that you may be suffering from reactive hypoglycemia. http://www.livinlowcarbdiscussion.com/showthread.php?tid=542

Is it the flip-side to the low carb flu? Is it my brain punishing me for attempting to use the wrong "fuel"? It doesn't take a lot of sugar either, just a bite of something, and boom, weird headache within a few minutes.

I've heard it over and over that ideally we should sleep well and long, at least 8 hrs but preferably 9-10.
Whenever I sleep longer than 8-9 hrs, I always either wake up with a headache or develop a headache later in the day. (No, I'm not hung...

Not to be give a snarky answer but if you as an individual do not need 10+ hours of sleep and 8 hours is sufficient for you that is what your body needs, do not try & force more sleep on it just because some people say to do it. I have had...

I have been full Paleo for about 9 months and recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's. So, in response to that diagnosis, I took out all nightshades, eggs, nuts,..etc. I decided to eat only meat products and one (or two) cooked squashes each day. But,...

Before trying a Paleo diet, I always thought 'detox' and that whole industry was b/s. I didn't believe that I could accumulate toxins or that anything I ate could possibly flush that out or make a noticeable difference in my life.
